Speed Control of BLDC Motor fed from Solar PV Array using Particle Swarm Optimization

Abstract

In this paper, Brushless DC motor speed has been controlled using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) technique. Appropriate parameters i.e. Kp and Ki for the PI controller can be found using the PSO technique. The system is supplied from a Solar PV Array along with the MPPT technique to fetch its maximum efficiency from the solar array. The end result shows that the Solar fed controller based on PSO can control the BLDC motor speed.
